Cover art for Other Side Of Things lyrics by 311

"A college we could learn but we usually we burn and then we waste it"

This line isn't saying the lack of available education nowadays, it's saying how people are so lazy and don't want to do anything with their lives so they start taking the wrong paths of life- drugs, violence, the such.

"Taste it time and time again, it’s time to take your medicine" "Too much prozac in our systems"

I agree 100% about the doctors statement above, that's what I thought when I first heard this song too. Doctors nowadays don't care about their patients, just doing it for the money- they just diagnose their patients with something to feel unnaturally optimistic.
